The water is expected to slowly recede, but has already created many headaches in the neighborhood of Riverside Acres in southern Indiana. The neighborhood is currently cut off from land.

In Utica, people have been a little more fortunate.

The power was cut off to some neighborhoods there on Sunday, but the water has not been high enough to cause widespread damage.

"I'm thinking, why did I move on the river? It's been great. If you're going to live here, you're going to go through it, so you have to be prepared. And it's worked out," said Utica resident Lyle Kelley.

Kelley didn't take any chances. He spent the weekend moving furniture on his ground floor.

"I started three days ago. I thought, 'Well, it's coming up pretty close, so,'" Kelley said.

He bought a generator when the power to his neighborhood was shut off Sunday afternoon.

Across the street, Vicki Bangs stopped by to check on her rental property.

"I feel very lucky, we came within an inch of getting water in the lowest level," Bangs said.

Her renters left when the power went off.

She lives on the Kentucky side of the river, in Westport, in Oldham County.

"We have 10 feet of water in our yard. But our house is on a hill, so we can take 2 more feet there," Bangs said.

The flooding has also closed some roads in southern Indiana.

Utica Pike has been closed just past Perrin Road, near Duffy's Landing.

Upper River Road is also closed just past Utica.

Utica was the scene of some devastating flooding in 1997 and many homes saw water in 2011.
